They spent a million knowing they’d more than get it back in this fight. They could have not spent a million, never got their BBBoC license back and carried on fighting on crap Matchroom USA cards earning fck all. That’s why the ‘why would we spend a million on lawyers’ thing doesn’t wash. It was an investment.
Wouldn’t surprise me bud, but they would most likely cover it up again. They almost got away with it last time when you think about it. Especially bearing in mind there is now Riyadh money also involved, lord knows much are undeservingly (especially in Benns case) getting paid for the level which they are at.
Hearn said Benn is getting double digit millions for this fight. Hearn probably stands to make around £1/2 million for this fight. Disgusting that Bent should get that amount of money.
Thought there was 130k people in the presales for this?! Went to have a look just now and thousands and thousands of tickets left, nearly all blocks available!
That's the only thing on Eddie Hearn's mind right now : All the money he has invested in Conor Benn's career. Hearn doesn't care if Conor Benn gets badly injured in the fight against Eubank Jr.
